Following characters from the first drink of the night to the last dip of pakora in the wee small hours, some of Burnistoun's best-loved characters are back including Jolly Boy John, Quality Polis McGregor and Toshan, best mates Scott and Peter plus the "Up the Road" guys.

Meanwhile the selection of new sketches includes beardie hipsters Niko and Kiko, cocktail-sipping 'Exclusive Girls' and extended repercussions as a treatment for erectile dysfunction works a wee bit too well.

There's a glimpse of Burnistoun's hoi polloi in high-class toilets and chippies, questionable boxing advice courtesy of the Bryce brothers and birthday party guests driving their mate, Barry, mad. Plus the Radio Burnistoun DJs keep things moving as "the best wee city on God's Green Earth" lets its hair down on a Saturday night.
